David Bowie
5/5
Mike Oldfield
4/5
Loved it all apart from the Blue Peter bit at the end 🤣
Lauryn Hill
4/5
There‘s a 5/5, 50 minute album within the 80 minutes here. Unnecessary filler so not all killer!
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Always had them down as a great singles band, this reaffirms that thought.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Solid album all the way through.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Solid without being spectacular. Innervisions is a better Stevie album.
Little Simz
3/5
Way out of my comfort zone. A couple of great tracks but mostly fluff.
The Kinks
4/5
Nice easy listening album.
Johnny Cash
3/5
More about the situation than the tunes.
John Cale
2/5
Pretty dated sound. Was hoping for something a bit more experimental in line with the Velvet Underground.
Incubus
1/5
Not even in the top 1001 albums by artists with the initial I in 1999. Terrible!
Taylor Swift
4/5
Classic pop. Just when you think a song is a differ, back it comes with a massive chorus.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Weird discrepancy between the UK and American version. A Stones album with great other tracks beyond the singles.
The Clash
5/5
Classic! You could argue that it’s a couple of songs too long but it is an amazing album.
Can
3/5
Very easy listening.
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
The point where Indie and Dance crossed over. Excellent album.
Bobby Womack
3/5
Easy listening and inoffensive. Bobby has a great voice but no masterpiece.
Happy Mondays
3/5
I used to love this album but it’s dated and equally tough to relate to an album which is mostly about getting stoned when you‘re in your 50s.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
Not a huge fan. I like my 60s rock a bit more psychedelic.
Pink Floyd
5/5
An absolute classic.
Pretentious nonsense. ‘A mole digging in a hole, digging up my soul’ - it was my soul that that mole took!
Fats Domino
2/5
Only half the album was on Spotify.
R.E.M.
5/5
One of the most vital albums of its time.

Excellent stuff from the fathers of Rap.
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
Decent enough album.
Pretenders
3/5
The album tracks are better than the singles.
The Byrds
1/5
When you know The Byrds psychedelic work then listening to their Christian, Country album is not a pleasure. Terrible album.
Rush
2/5
A weird prog, heavy metal crossover that I didn’t get.
Elvis Costello
3/5
Some great songs on here but not as polished as some of his later work.
Cornershop
3/5
This slipped under the radar first time round apart from the singles. It has its moments.

It was good at the start but got a bit samey as it went through.

3/5
There are better Public Enemy albums

3/5

Sure it’s a great example of its genre but this isn’t for me.
Randy Newman
2/5
Like listening to the soundtrack of some messed up Disney Pixar movie.
